Breastmilk is a fundamental source of nourishment and helps create a powerful bond between mother and child. Breastmilk contains antibodies, enzymes, and essential nutrients, and supports a baby’s physical development. Breastmilk also protects a baby’s immune system and helps fight against infections and diseases.
